Obsession doesn't always build gradually, sometimes it happens all at once. Lucy meets Kenneth when she's thirteen. It could have been insignificant. But it isn't. Instead, it becomes something she never quite escapes. Years pass. People come and go. She builds a life that looks exactly how it's supposed to. And still... Kenneth finds his way back in.

It makes something feel real enough to hold onto, even when it never quite is. ⚠️ Content warning ⚠️ This story includes themes of self-harm.
